~a dreamy giveaway~

I first met Maria when she started her blog.

I remember the first time I saw photos of her house, my jaw literally hit the ground. I knew just by looking at her home and the photos she took, that she was one talented girl! What I didn't know is that we would soon become great friends. I am so glad to have met her {even though we've never met face to face yet} We chat on the phone and do the texting thing, but through all of that one thing remains the same. She is the kindest, sweetest, most generous person I have ever met. Her love for all things vintage is apparent in her photos of her own home. Her love for her family shines through her blog as well. We talked a bit about doing a giveaway here on my little old blog

{and I say little because compared to hers, it is!}

I thought if she accepted she would want to maybe give away a few lavender sachets, or something like that.

OK..so I joined Dreamy whites as a follower (on my favs list already) and your blog (another one on my favs list) ...just had to formally follow both..he..he! I love..love ..love all of the things in the shop but I am very partial to fabrics..so if I had to pick one thing I think it would have to be a grain sack...Thanks for sharing!

I am new to the blogging world - can't believe the inspiration!! I signed up to follow Dream Whites and your blog. Love them both. What a beautiful giveaway - it is a dream!! I would also love to have her Antique French Wire Basket - oh the possibilities. [email protected]

Melaine!I follow Dreamy White ...in fact I stopped by her shop this morning...I bought one of the lavender filled shot bags to go with a little hunting vignette I am doing in the den.I would love most anything from her shop!Lynne{with love}

I love Dreamy Whites, blog and store, and now I have a new blog to love...yours. This is one of the best giveaways I've seen! I would be happy with anything from the store, but I'm especially loving the French Antique red floral lavender pillow and the French music cards...so beautiful.

I just found you this morning..how great is that! Love yours and Dreamy Whites both!! You both have that character of style I long for. The drying rack on Dreamy is so cool, another great idea. And the lavendar mirror...to die for. Now I need to spend more time just looking your blog over...not enough hours in the day!!

Oh my, there are so many things I would love from her shop!! The antique lavender bottles are beautiful, the french zinc flower bucket, and oh, how I would love the vintage green and cream bistro chair from France.

I adore both of your blogs. So much inspiration. Just love it. There are so many things that I like in the Dreamy Whites store, but I especially like the French Music Cards, the French Tole Chandelier, the French Chalkboard w/easel, and the tool box. LOVE!!! My heart is racing. HA! I would love to win the bottle rack. Ugh, be still my heart. THANKS!!

The Giveaway is fab - I love the French Tote but just visiting both of your blogs has always been a treat for me with your gorgeous photos! The header on Dreamy Whites is just beautiful! I follow both of you with pleasure, come visit me again! Jennifer jennsthreegraces ..... in your spare time lol

Ok! I also viewed her store and she offers so many simply beautiful products...it's hard to choose. I really love the color of the bread box. But I think my favorite thing right now is the lavender pillow with the french floral print. And you're RIGHT...this is truly a DREAMY giveaway.
